| hyperlite, fresh water traction made pads for putting on a wakeboard, but hyperlite is the first that made a mass produced 'wakeskate.' the first year they even used fwt pads on them. yes it was a wakeboard with foam padding so whine all you want, but it was the first 'company made' wakeskate |

FWT is the first wakeskate company, period. They made the first accessory for wakeskating (those traction pads) and they had boards that were in limited production, but they were basically for family and friends for cost reasons.
They first had a board in the 1998 wbm buyer's guide.

wow grouch...WOW! thanks though. you are...a plethora of one liners
I just feel like FWT deserves that credit (rider owned/operated in the purest sense)...someday you'll all understand. For now (if you must) keep giving your props to hype, but hype had to get that idea from somewhere...
